1. Obama is close to getting elected. Add this to the costs of the financial crisis. At this point one hopes that he will cling to his record. The record is adaptation to whatever serves his rise. If elected his fate and that of the country become connected, and so the hope amounts to a well wish for America. Obama has a debt to clients that depend on contributions. Once he does not need them, he will be wise to see to it that he does not appear to be the President of special interest groups. To achieve that he will have to refuse to deliver on some of the expectations connected to his election.

Six years ago, when Belgian Minister Louis Michel addressed the Belgian Foreign Affairs Committee, on November 12, 2002, he explained that the EU intended to incorporate the whole of North Africa and the Middle East, but also Russia. In other words, the entire northern half of Asia as far as Vladivostok, is to be incorporated into the EU.
If that happens, Sarah Palin will be seeing Europe from her window instead of Russia.
